Xavier's Diseases.

I cannot drown my demons, they know how to swim. Carter's POV.

Do you know that commercial for asthma? It goes "There's a monster on my bed." "There's a monster in the tub." And so on and so forth? Well, if you do, you will understand my life a hell of a lot better. No, I don't have asthma. My monster is depression. Heard of it? Good. Now this is where people ask why. First, let me point out that depression doesn't need a specific reason. Now, I will explain.

Joseph James Gray. Delilah May Henderson. My parents. It's a long story. But you should know that my name is Carter Finn Gray. Yeah, Finn. Okay, so my mom walked out on me when I was ten. My dad died when I was about three. I hate my mom for leaving. She abandoned me. I had money and everything. You see, she can't stand being around me. So she just sends a check every other day. Where she gets the money, I have no idea. But I mean, I don't complain. I have Netflix, a huge library, my own ps4, a computer, an iPhone. A lot more stuff too. I have pretty much anything I want and more and I don't have to share it with anybody.

But, with all of that comes pain. With all of that comes loneliness. But, also freedom. You see, I don't have to hide anything. I already graduated so I don't have to go to school. I never went to school, actually. I took classes online. Being alone and not having to go a lot of places sure helps me with my little problem. But really that is all alright. Even if I had to hide it, I can't really say that I would and mean it. You can't report my family, there is nobody. Seriously. I swear.
